Commerce - B2001
The Bachelor of Commerce is a comprehensive degree with a clear focus - on the data and quantitative truths found in the world of business. Quantitative techniques and data analysis will help you build a solid foundation of commercial knowledge across key areas of commerce and business, and fine-tune which of these areas you’re most interested in.
From there, you can major in fields like accounting, business analytics, economics, finance, management studies, marketing science, sustainability and more. Many students choose to pair the Bachelor of Commerce with one of 13 double degree options offered within Monash University, to further expand your skillset.
The pathways you can take to pursue your ideal commercial career are just as varied. Graduates from the Bachelor of Commerce work in just about every dimension of contemporary business – calling on their analytical abilities and professional skills to transform businesses, manage organisations and lead positive change. Choose where you’d like to specialise during your study and see an exciting future take shape.

You can choose a Monash Comprehensive course in five broad fields: arts, business, commerce, information technology or science, and then customise your course to make it uniquely yours. In this course, you will study a range of subjects from across the commerce field, broadening your knowledge in this area while also deepening your knowledge in at least one discipline that will become your major.
Partner with another course
Double degree courses allow you to study towards two different degrees at the same time, and graduate with two separate qualifications.
